Rand Paul: Trump Was Afraid To Face Megyn Kelly Because He Feared She Would Bring Up His Four Bankruptcies
“I think he is very sensitive and prickly about all of his bankruptcies. I think that’s one reason he was afraid to face Megyn Kelly again was because of his fears of discussing his bankruptcies. His shtick, the act he puts on is he is very rich, he is really smart because he is very rich and give him power because he will fix everything but the bankruptcies sort of bely that.”
—Rand Paul on why Trump was afraid to face Megyn Kelly at the last Fox News debate.
2016 GOP Presidential candidate, Senator Rand Paul called into Kilmeade & Friends from Waukee, Iowa to discuss today’s Iowa Caucuses, his thoughts on the reason Donald Trump didn’t show up at last week’s Fox News debate, why blames the RNC for artificially inflating the importance of polls when it comes to who makes the main debate stage and how he feels if he has a strong showing in Iowa he should be on the main stage regardless of the latest polls.
Listen here:
will be next week. When will you find out?
(RAND) It just goes so quickly now and we blame the party a little bit because I think the RNC has really done a lot of this stuff. They have decided they’re artificially making these designations but I don’t know how they can discount voters in favor of a poll? It’s one thing if the polls become true, then the polls are somewhat accurate. The polls often have been off 10 or 15 points then I would think you would count voting, that voting would be a lot more important than polls.
(BRIAN) you feel if you are in the top tier in the Caucus, if you are in the top third, that should be enough to get you on the main stage in New Hampshire?
(RAND) Well the weird thing would be, what if I beat four people? What if I beat Bush, Kasich, Christie and Carson in Iowa?
(BRIAN) Right
(RAND) Would it be fair to put them on the next debate and leave me off if I beat them here? It is kind of crazy rules and they shouldn’t be so artificial, they need to try to be including people who have a real chance.
